Swimming Recount.

As I was sprinting back straight after the bell rang ready to line up to go to the Swimming pools I was pumped up because I really like going swimming, walking to the swimming pools I was really really excited because I haven’t been swimming for a long time so I was really excited.

Walking into the pools Miss Nua quickly said that we have to go and get changed really quickly  and have a quick shower too, and we had to meet her near the place we are swimming. As I was rushing and saying to all the girls “hurry hurry”!!! we might get in trouble because we might get in trouble because we were only meant to have a really quick shower.

When we got there this nice lady called Jackie was our instructor what she told us was that we had to find a partner, and I was partner with Janise. What we had to do was that she is going to test us how we are swimming and then she is going to put us in groups from 1 two 2 and the 1 group is the not confident swimmer and 2 is the confident swimmer and me and Janise was in group 2, which is the confident swimmer.

While Jackie was just finishing of the last two swimmers which was Anisha and Gloria Miss Nua took us to the big pool which was the cold pool so we can have our lesson which was group two. What we learn with Miss Nua is how to get into the pool safely and a lot more staff but we only had a short time of the lessons but next time we will have more time to practice a lot of staff.   

Suddenly it was time to get out of the pool and go and get change because we needed to get to school before the bell rang. As we were running as quickly to the bathroom to get change Miss Nua said “don’t have a shower after you swim but some girls just went off and had a shower when just got told not two.  

My favorite part of swimming was that we got to vs other people in our group from the start to the end which was really cool. As we were vsing Janise and I we had to go first and janice was beating me because she is really fast and fit and everyone was trying to beat Janice because she was really fast. When I was vsing other people I was trying to beat Janise because she was too fast and no one couldn’t beat her.

Social.

When I was digging and digging under my washing  basket I was wondering “what should I wear to the social” as I said in a “grumpy” voice what should I wear. Looking for my clothes I was getting really frustrated because I was looking for the character to wear to the social because thats was the theme for the year 7 & 8 social.

As I was walking into the hall all I can see was people dancing and all the lovely decortication all around the hall with balloons and all sorts of staff, looking at all the decortication I was wondering who done this amazing things because there were all colourful. While I was sitting down, I was getting really nervous . I stood up to go and dance. My friends quickly ran up to me and I was delighted  because they weren’t even wearing any costumes and neither was I.

While me and my friends were enjoying our dancing and having fun talking we were starting to get hungry so we went to the tuck shop and brought us some chip which cost 50c and drink thats cost $1, and then we went back and start dancing.

At the social we had lots of dance offs like twerking, dougieing and also we played a game if the music plays we dance and if the music stops we have to stand still as possible or else we are out. When we were playing the game I was trying to not move at all because I wanted to be the last one in the middle because I wanted to win a chocolate bar.

Week 8 Thinkboard.

This is my think board of the week which is really cool because I really like doing think boards because I really need to practice my maths work like timetables and Decimals.

Do some of your own research to find the answer to this question.

Yes because it is where you can travel and try something knew, but in the mean time it would be tiring because it is one of the largest river.

How do we know that school is China keeps students occupied during the week? We know because it says in the text that some kids is not allow to go home and some kids are allow to go home because there prantens doesn't work at all. But the prantens that works and works far they have to stay at home and have lunch at school.

What does a Chinese child’s school day consist of? Is that in weekdays, classes start at 8 a.m, and school finishes at 5 p.m. Each classes is forty five minutes long, with only a ten minute break between classes not enough time to play.

How do you feel about the hours that children in China attend school. Why do you feel this way? The reason I feel this way is because I feel sorry for the kids in china because they have school for ten hours and they have more learning and also they have to wake up early in the morning to get to school fast because where they live is fast.



Do you think it would be beneficial if schools in New Zealand were to have hours as long as schools in China? It will be really beneficial because kids in New Zealand will not be able to handle this long of school because mostly schools in New Zealand are only used to 8 hours of school.

It compares likely exactly the same because after they come back from school they have a break and then they go back to learning and doing their homework which is really boring and cool at the same time because they have to do their homework every night for 1 hour.

The subjects we have here is reading and writing which  we do that in the morning and maths after morning tea and also we have Inquiry which is after lunch.

Starting from Tuesday class 3 is been walking down to the YMCA pools and having swimming lesson which is really cool. Swimming is not my thing because I don't really like swimming because I really can't swim at all but I am trying to swim so that's why I need to practice swimming.

First when we got there we had to get change and the lady called Jackie said that we had to swim 2 by 2 so she can see what group are we going to be in and she is going to give us a number by 1 or 2 and I was in 2. Group number 2 had to go and swim in the big pool and number 1 had to swim in the small pool as I got into the big pool it was so cold and I couldn't move cause I was cold.

The person that was teaching us was Miss Nua she taught us a lot of things and we had a short  of time swimming so we only maybe did 3 lessons. The lessons we learned was head straight and kicking all the way to the end and my feet was getting so tried.
